Getting Koekkoek for Clarke and a couple of seconds is a real good trade, but my god does the bottom six forward situation leave a lot to be desired. It's a shame they don't have another card left to add a top 9 guy. I guess Koko will have to play half the game.

Your bottom 3 are not going to play much anyways,and while I agree I would have liked a better 3rd line,which will probably be Verbeek,Johnson,Giftopoulous,good speed and Verbeek has shown improvement since Christmas,though Studnicka-Clark-Bowen line wont scare people they will crash and bang,most teams 4th lines dont scare me anyways,but i get what u mean
